Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Perceptions, personal perspectives, and public awareness of e-cigarette information have a significant impact on e-cigarette smoking behavior, and provide comprehensive information that can help reduce interest in e-cigarette smoking and reduce the number of new smokers. This study aimed to investigate the perceptions towards e-cigarettes related to e-cigarette use and how that information related to people\'s use of them.
METHODS: The data for this cross-sectional study were collected via an online questionnaire. Thai nationals who were aged ≥18 years provided data between June 2021 and January 2022. Multivariable logistic regression and the chi-squared test were used to analyze the data.
RESULTS: There were 340 respondents, 76 e-cigarette users, and 264 non-e-cigarette users. Most of the perceptions of information that differed statistically significantly between e-cigarette users and non-e-cigarette users included information on regulations, products, health effects, and the effectiveness of smoking cessation. The association between factors and e-cigarette smoking behavior revealed that the perception of the product information and male gender were associated with e-cigarette smoking behavior (AOR=13.59; 95% CI: 2.35-78.60, and AOR=5.19; 95% CI: 2.87-9.40, respectively).
CONCLUSIONS: The perception of e-cigarette product information and male gender were associated with e-cigarette smoking behavior.
